J.\nWhen a person convicted of a misdemeanor is, under the provisions of the Act of March 10th, 1877, ordered to- be hired out for the payment of the fine and costs, the term for which he may be hired out, as provided in the fourth section of the act, can not \u201c exceed one day for each seventy-five cents of the fine and costs.\u201d\nIf the hirer shall agree to pay more than seventy-five cents a day, the term may be less, and it is the duty of the officer to get as. much as he can. It does not, however, follow that the court can require a greater hire per day than the minimum fixed by the Statute, or direct that the hiring be for a less number of days than one for every seventy-five cents of the fine and costs. Griffin v. The State, ante.\nIt was error, therefore, to limit the term for which the defendant was to be hired, to one day for every dollar and a half of the fine and costs ; and so much of the judgment is reversed, and the cause is remanded to the court below, with instructions to make such order in relation to the hiring as shall be in accordance with law, and as indicated in this opinion.",

Misdemeanors : Siring out convict for fine and cost.\nUnder the provisions of the 4th section' of the Act of March 10,. 1877, one convicted of a misdemeanor may he hired for as much as can be got for him \u2014 not less than seventy-five cents a clay; but the Court can not require a greater hire per day than the minimum, fixed by the statute, nor direct that the hiring be for a less number of days than one for every seventy-five cents of the line and cost..\nAPPEAL from Franlelin Circuit Court.\nHon. Gr. S. Cunningham, Special Judge.\nSTATEMENT.\nIn June, 1881, Dick Barnes was convicted, in the Franklin Circuit Court, of gaming, and fined ten dollars; for which, and the cost, judgment was rendered against him ;\u2022 and it was ordered by the Court that, in default of payment, the Sheriff hire him out at a sum not less than 'one dollar and fifty cents per day; and, in default of hiring, said fine and cost should be discharged by imprisonment for one day for each one dollar and fifty cents of said fine and cost. From this judgment the State appealed..\nG. JB. Moore, Attorney-General, for the State:\nThe first judgment, though perhaps not technically perfect in verbiage, was sufficient. The words \u201cotherwise* satisfied or discharged according to law,\u201d includes all the Statute requires in reference to hiring out, etc.\nThe\u2019 second judgment was erroneous, in that it directed defendant to be hired out for a sum not less than \u20211.50 per day, or in default, be imprisoned one day for each \u00a71.50 of said fine and costs."
